"Yet, there is a downside: it's now possible to slander the hell out of each other without ever meeting face to face. This is especially true of message boards, ostensibly repositories of useful Beta, like where to go bouldering on a snowy day or directions to the hot new crag. Sadly, these message boards have evolved in to a receptacle for quips, jibes, insults, spray and flat out attacks, posted by net geeks hiding behind the cloak of anonymity or a trumped up alias."
Sad, sad, sad but true. If not for spray, we could not share our wit and humor. We would all have to know REAL beta. Then what? the world as we know it would be serious, boring, sprayless.... Tears, sobbing... Please don't take away the spray
